I am trying to figure out how to create a ReST interface to a mailfolder. Initially, I figured I could simply POST messages and have them appended to the...

Perhaps I wasn't clear. There may be a large number of messages and, ideally, I only want the client to retrieve new messages. Again, my initial instinct here...
A couple thoughts: 1) Use HEAD to determine if the contents have changed. This keeps you from having to get the entire resource. 2) There is nothing in REST...
... No doubt the contents have changed. The issue is that since I know the contents simply grow, if I prohibited the server from changing URLs, I could ...
... Not really. An HTTP server's URI-space has nothing whatsoever to do with its storage space, aside from that created by the handlers within that space. In...

I think I have figured out how to do this in a way that allows the server to move attachments to URLs on other servers on an ad-hoc basis and that does not...

Isn't adding a query term "received-since" unRESTful? -Alex- ___________________________________________________________________ S. Alexander Jacobson...
Using something like "receive-since" (I am assuming a timestamp here) means that you have to keep track of the time differences between the client and server,...
If you accepted receive-since, you could always refer to a particular message-id. I just think either version violates the opacity of URLs. The problem with...
Each client checks mail at different times so each client has a different set of messages it has read and messages it has not yet read. If the client changes...
... From: "S. Alexander Jacobson" <alex@...> ... I don't think so. But I am not bothered by constructing URIs on the client. Also, I meant 'modified-since'...
Isn't the whole point of REST that URIs should be opaque when describing a web service? Regarding what I am trying to do, I want to expose a mailfolder via...

Thanks Mike that helps, one question though. You say, "So, use PUT to do a 'partial update' of a resource". Did you mean to say POST because this contradicts...
